My AUD32 flight (plus AUD67 of airport taxes and a little airline fees, making a grand total of AUD99) departed Melbourne on time at 0045. AirAsia and AirAsia X, being really cheap airlines attract first time flyers and people who are travelling internationally for the first time.
I overheard the man in front of me ask the man next to him … “This place where we’re landing in … what country is that in? I’m only connecting to go to Thailand.” Just can’t help overhearing things as the Airbus A330 is so freakily quiet near the front.
8.5 hours later (with about 3 hours of dozing) I arrived at Kuala Lumpur around 0700. It was too early to check-in at my airport hotel, so I left my bags there and took the bus into the city where I made my way by monorail to my favourite haunts.
Firstly to Sungei Wang and Bukit Bintang Plaza, for blind reflexology and massage … but it was a bit too early. So had lunch at the superposh mall Pavilion before returning to see my blind masseur.
It was early to bed tonight, at the cheap Tune Hotel by the airport, to make up for the night flight.
